This is a noir love story of an American con man, Roger 'Romeo' Fallon (Bradford Dillman) who has the appearance and manner of a young man recently graduated from the Ivy League , and a proper Englishwoman, Virginia Cort (Eileen Heckart) who is a lady of a certain age perservering through a constrained existence as a domestic servant in an upper class Manhattan household.
The episode begins with Fallon in the lock-up at the 65th Precinct, thoroughly disrespectful to the plain woman, Josephine Hendon (Frances Heflin) seated in the waiting area; and a frustrated Detective Adam Flint (Paul Burke) who so despises this "Romeo that he has to leave the area and vent privately in his superior's office.
Fallon uses his boyish charms on women for financial gain. The ladies in question are servants living-in in on Park and 5th Avenue, and thereabouts. It is implied that 'Romeo' has a large series of such prey, but the episode shows only two, both intelligent and feeling women who are old maids living lonely lives. These ladies are also household maids of the sorts of establishments with Picassos on the wall and fine gems on the dressing table.
